 The Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority has released valuable information about disaster recovery assistance for small business. If your business has been adversely affected by the North Queensland Monsoon Trough in January and February 2019, you may be eligible to apply for assistance.
 Have you been considering assembling an advisory board to assist your business move from good to great?
 The Queensland Government has one of my favourite programs open again. This round sees up to $5K paid to small business owners, matched dollar for dollar.
 The Small Business Digital Grants Program is open!
This is a wonderful opportunity for eligible small business owners to apply for a digital grant of up to $10K in matched funding. In the last round, I delivered professional websites and digital coaching as part of the grant funding.  There have been massive changes to the Back to Work program which includes the $20K Youth Boost I have promoted loudly and widely. Form 1st July 2018, the program will change significantly. If you are using this program, or considering using it, it pays to read the fine print and check out the changes.
 I absolutely love the Business Growth Fund! There is so much assistance available right now for small and medium sized businesses and I'm always on the look out for grants that may be of interest to my clients and the wider business community. This one is up to $50K and is a beauty.
 Traineeships can be a great way to hire a much much needed office staff member to enhance your efficiency. The good news is there are government grants available to assist with the cost. In fact, they cover most of the costs!
 I'm a firm believer that most of of us pay our fair share of tax, so when there is a grant on offer, particularly for small and medium sized business, I'm all over it. Whether it's federally funded or state funded, I'm often asked what's on offer, so here's my summary for the current round of grants.
 I have just finished some marketing implementation plans for a few different clients and discovered some serious collaboration between the Queensland and Australian governments. It could mean $24K in your pocket - but it won't be around for long.
 The Australian Government has established a website to make it easier to find out what funding, development, support or assistance your business may be eligible for.
